I have an xml file that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
   <node id="lastDownload" text="Pj48PkE8Pz09RQ" />
   <node id="applicationVersion" text="QDtEOnd6" />
   <node id="applicationBuild" text="QDtEOnd6" />
   <node id="localFilePath" text="" />
   <node id="sitePath" text="dYGBfUc8PHtygT+BfXo7cHx6PA" />
   <node id="timeToLive" text="P0I" />
   <node id="retries" text="QA" />
</config>

While I have done some xml before with RB this one is giving me some grief.

I have some code written:

 Dim FI As FolderItem
 Dim TIS as TextInputStream

 FI = GetFolderItem("config.xml")

 Dim FName,loginfo,oneCell as String

 Dim root_count,i,count_po As Integer
 Dim node as XMLNode


 If FI.Exists() Then
   TIS = FI.OpenAsTextFile()
   loginfo=TIS.ReadAll
dim xd As new XMLDocument
   xd.LoadXML(loginfo)
   root_count = xd.DocumentElement.childCount
For i = 0 to root_count - 1 node = xd.DocumentElement.Child(i)

   Next


But I really am not sure how to grab the things I need. I set some properties in my app for the nodes listed in the xml and would like to assign these by the text or values listed.

Could someone point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have an xml file that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
    <node id="lastDownload" text="Pj48PkE8Pz09RQ" />
    <node id="applicationVersion" text="QDtEOnd6" />
    <node id="applicationBuild" text="QDtEOnd6" />
    <node id="localFilePath" text="" />
    <node id="sitePath" text="dYGBfUc8PHtygT+BfXo7cHx6PA" />
    <node id="timeToLive" text="P0I" />
    <node id="retries" text="QA" />
</config>

While I have done some xml before with RB this one is giving me some
grief.

I have some code written:

  Dim FI As FolderItem
  Dim TIS as TextInputStream

  FI = GetFolderItem("config.xml")

  Dim FName,loginfo,oneCell as String

  Dim root_count,i,count_po As Integer
  Dim node as XMLNode


  If FI.Exists() Then
    TIS = FI.OpenAsTextFile()
    loginfo=TIS.ReadAll

    dim xd As new  XMLDocument
    xd.LoadXML(loginfo)
    root_count = xd.DocumentElement.childCount

    For i = 0 to root_count - 1

      node = xd.DocumentElement.Child(i)

    Next


But I really am not sure how to grab the things I need. I set some
properties in my app for the nodes listed in the xml and would like to
assign these by the text or values listed.

Wouldn't it be easier if your XML was more like this-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<config>
    <lastDownload>Pj48PkE8Pz09RQ</lastDownload>
    <applicationVersion>QDtEOnd6</applicationVersion>
</config>
And so on?
Then Select Case on the node.Name and use node.firstchild.value to get the
textnode? I'm not 100% sure on the firstchild part being right for you,
not without actually running through it.

That's how I did it with my Witch Hunt app anyway. It seems to work well,
though you'll have a different child depth since you didn't use a <root>
tag and I did. Feel free to look at it, if you think it'll help-

The XML loading bit is in the grimoire class method loadIndex.

Best of luck,
Fargo
